Charges Filed in Theft of Vicodin

South Kitsap man was charged Wednesday in connection with a break-in at an East Bremerton pharmacy in which about 1,000 Vicodin pills were stolen, according to Kitsap County prosecutors.

Timothy W. Allyn, 23, was charged with felony second-degree burglary and violating a no-contact order in Kitsap County Superior Court, said deputy prosecutor Justin Zaug. He’s being held at the Kitsap County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Allyn is accused of breaking into a Farrell’s Pharmacies location near the 2500 block of Cherry Place early Friday and taking two 500-pill bottles of the prescription painkiller, Bremerton Police detectives said.

Allyn’s arrest came at the hands of Port Orchard Police, however.

A 56-year-old South Kitsap man, who has a court-mandated no-contact order with Allyn, told police the 23-year-old had shown up at his residence Feb. 15. When officers arrived that day, Allyn was gone, police said.

At about 4:30 a.m. Friday, Bremerton police responded to an alarm at the East Bremerton-area pharmacy. They found a glass door partially destroyed by a snow shovel and two bottles of Vicodin missing.

Around midday on Friday, the 56-year-old again called police from his home, this time to say that Allyn was apparently asleep in his car nearby. There, he was arrested by Port Orchard Police.

Upon a search, police found the bottles of the painkiller with the pharmacy’s address on it, according to officers’ reports. Bremerton detectives then took the case and matched the shoe he was wearing with a shoe print left behind in the store.
